Hello DVXUser friends,
I am not very prominent on these boards, so I apologize if I come across as one of those people who is just here to plug their own work. But I figured it was an exciting moment and I should document the rest of this crazy journey called filmmaking!
A little about myself: I am a 22 year old film student currently studying screenwriting at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA. I am from Wisconsin, which I visit every three months or so. I just bought a Canon T3i last spring and I figured I would try to make a follow up documentary to a project I shot last summer with a borrowed camera.
A little about this project: THE ROHL FARMS ENTERPRISE is an experiment by me in trying to discover the limits of filmmaking. I also always wanted to shoot a found footage film, so I blended the two and created this endeavor. The projected budget of this film was $1,500, which literally covered the purchase of the camera, the lenses, and the shotgun microphone. There were a few other smaller expenses, but nothing crazy. I had no crew. Everyone in the film are real people portraying themselves. The entire plot was scribbled in a notebook of mine one night and I just decided to shoot the whole film as improvised. No line of dialogue was written.
SYNOPSIS:
"A year after the documentary "2,000 Miles From Hollywood," 21 year old filmmaker decided to re-visit the life of his childhood friend, Luke Rohl, in order to make a feature-length follow up to the aforementioned documentary. However, after they began filming, strange things started happening around Luke's house. The focus of the documentary then shifted to the investigation of these odd occurrences. They thought it was paranormal. They thought it was supernatural. They thought wrong."

Right now, the film is cut and ready to be screened for a select group of people before I start trying to get a distribution model lined up or festivals or anything like that. It's a lot of work, but the pay off is always worth the headaches and heartaches that precede it.
Thanks everyone!
